I don't know about that. It sounds like tax the rich, class warfare and just playing to his base. Good luck with that.
And remarkably, when it comes to the deficit, young voters aged 18 to 29—the cohort most favorably disposed to Obama—are even more critical, with only 29 percent approving.
This is the reason that I read Galston. He finds interesting numbers.
The “winning the future” agenda would become Obama’s equivalent of the famous “Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the environment” quarter that Bill Clinton used to draw the line against Newt Gingrich and the House Republicans in 1995.
The GOP has to start on all the negative outcomes since the rats have seized those issues. We have huge armies of expensive bureaucrats and public employees with nothing to show for it except more debt and marginal or lousy results in healthcare, education and the environment.
Losing the Future - Vegas is no longer the world’s biggest gambling resort; America is. Mark Steyn
“We should invest in education,” says the president. But we have done, spectacularly. We spend more per pupil on “education” than any other developed nation except Switzerland, and our math scores barely make the global Top 40, scraping in at big hit sound No. 35 between Azerbaijan and Croatia, the former of which was a Commie dictatorship until 20 years ago while the latter was reduced to rubble in the Yugoslav civil war. Maybe, when it comes to “investing in the future,” civil war gives you more bang for the buck.
Anytime Obama wins, America loses.

“In such a situation, campaign tactics, branding, and the identity of the Republican nominee would likely determine the outcome of the election”
The RINO’s are doing all they can to hand Obama the keys to the universe.
In other words, he has to pretend he is in favor of reducing the deficit for the next eighteen or so months. And, of course, do so without reducing the vig doled out to anyone, ever.
Obama “could” win.
Give me a billion dollars with the state media on my side and even I could win the presidency.
I’m not ugly, I look like a common man, a real man, and I am very good at public speaking.
Toss in a few great writers, a good ground team and a couple of TelePrompTer’s.
—Obama shouldn’t win, but I consider him a very formidable politician....he “could” win.
That's exactly what his speech was, the old tax-and-spend Democrat campaign rhetoric wrapped in a budget speech. He had zero real policies proposals, zero meat on the numbers he threw out, instead he gave a partisan political speech attacking Republicans and laying out the Democrat alternative in campaign-mode rhetoric. It was playing to his base because he wants/needs to get in campaign mode NOW.
God forbid he sticks to governing and shows us how lousy he is at it. He's a campaigner not a leader.
Obama polls weak on deficits - doh, that's because he has had the worst deficit record in US history. And he polls weak on economy - because the economy IS weak.
Obama polls are awful on these key issues ...
In the most recent Pew survey, for example, while 47 percent approved of his overall performance as president, his favorable rating on handling the economy was 39 percent; energy policy 40 percent; the budget deficit a woeful 33 percent.
The GOP should go after him on that - energy, economy, spending & deficits, and have plans that more drastically cuts the deficit (more than Ryan) but does NOT yet do the long-term entitlement fix. That was a political tactical mistake, because it allowed the Dems to demagogue on social security - a deflection AWAY from the core problems we have now - deficits, unemployment and $4/gallon gas.
We can and must get the deficit and budget under control NOW, and it can be done simply by eliminating the hundreds of billions of added spending that Obama, Reid and Pelosi added in over the past few years.
I saw this in 1976 thru 1980. It was called "Jimmy Carter". This is "Jimmy Carter 2.0"
On a rating basis of 5 stars I would give this version "no stars".
Donald Trump, whether you like him or not, said it best today in Boca Raton, FL... "the worst President in the history of the United States".
“It would not be surprising if he chooses to revisit that issue [immigration] no later than his 2012 State of the Union address; all the more so because Marco Rubio seems to be every potential Republican presidential nominee’s first choice for running mate.”
What tripe! Rubio’s NOT a natural born citizen. His parents did not naturalize as U.S. citizens before he was born.
There are states across this union which are on the brink of enacting a state statute requiring a candidate running for the national position of President of the United States, to prove that he/she is eligible to be Prez or VP.
Rubio will be good Senator or Governor, maybe even great. But President or Vice President? No.
